Manchester City has set another remarkable record in England’s domestic competitions. By defeating Brentford 2–0 in the League Cup quarterfinals, the Manchester-based club has once again proven to be one of the most consistent teams in the history of English cup competitions.
Following this victory, the "Citizens" have now reached the semifinals of England’s cup competitions 13 times since Pep Guardiola took charge of the team in 2016. Notably, no other club participating in the Premier League has achieved such a record during this period.
Under Guardiola’s leadership, City has shown exceptional dominance in the League Cup. The team not only reached the semifinals in the 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21 seasons but also managed to win the trophy every time. This demonstrates the Spanish manager’s absolute supremacy in this tournament.
Manchester City has also consistently advanced to the latter stages of the FA Cup. Specifically, the team made it to the semifinals in the 2016/17, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24, and the ongoing 2024/25 seasons. Out of these campaigns, two concluded with full success, as the "Citizens" claimed England’s most prestigious cup trophy.
These achievements underline Manchester City’s stability, experience, and psychological advantage in English football in recent years. For Guardiola’s team, reaching the semifinals has become a routine, while fans look forward to new trophies every season with high hopes.
